Abstract

A new generalization of Pascal's triangle, the so-called hyperbolic Pascal triangles were introduced in [H.B, L.N, L.Sz: Hyperbolic Pascal triangles]. The mathematical background goes back to the regular mosaics in the hyperbolic plane. The alternating sum of elements in the rows was given in the special case {4,5}\{4,5\} of the hyperbolic Pascal triangles. In this article, we determine the alternating sum generally in the hyperbolic Pascal triangle corresponding to {4,q}\{4,q\} with q5q\ge5.
